On “Pulling Up the Covers,” Richard Lynch doesn’t just revisit country classics; he breathes new life into them. This album is a carefully curated collection of 14 tracks, each a nostalgic nod to the golden age of country music. Lynch’s seasoned baritone and authentic delivery make this album not just a tribute, but a personal love letter to the genre that has shaped his life and career.
The LP opens with “Rest Your Love on Me,” a cover of the tender ballad penned by Barry Gibb and made famous by Conway Twitty. Lynch’s rendition is intimate and warm, his voice wrapping around the lyrics with a sincerity that feels both timeless and deeply personal. This sets the tone for an album steeped in reverence for the original works while allowing Lynch’s unique touch to shine through.

Lynch’s interpretations are faithful yet fresh, his vocals conveying a deep connection to the material. “I’m the Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised” brings a playful, rebellious energy, while “If We Make it Through December” offers a poignant reminder of the struggles and hopes that define the human experience.
The production on *”Pulling Up the Covers”* is as classic as the songs themselves. The arrangements are crisp and uncluttered, allowing Lynch’s voice to take center stage, supported by the rich, warm sounds of traditional country instrumentation.
